[RCL]: Isaiah 2:1-5; Psalm 122; Romans 13:11-14; Matthew 24:36-44 Note: Eschatological is pronounced “ES-cat-uh-lodg-i-cul”. Eschaton is pronounced “ES-cah-tahn”. There is a word that seminary students tend to love – maybe because it’s a big word and makes people feel intelligent: “eschatological”. You can use all kinds of variations of the word, from eschaton to eschatology….
Downton Abbey, the much-beloved PBS television series, recently came out with a feature-length movie. The entire plot was based on the Abbey preparing for and having a 24-hour visit from the King and Queen of England. For those of you unfamiliar with the series, Downton Abbey is a large country manor that houses “upstairs” nobility,…
La narración que Lucas presenta del encuentro entre Jesús y Zaqueo es una historia de fácil visualización, incluso contiene un tono algo simpático: basta pensar en Zaqueo adelantando a la multitud y subiendo a un árbol para poder ver a Jesús. Lo interesante es que el mismo acto, algo curioso, inevitablemente conduce a una pregunta…
El libro del Eclesiástico nos recuerda que Dios no hace acepción de personas al momento de escuchar su súplica. Por su parte, el salmista, nos dice que la plegaria de quien sirve de buena manera es llevada hasta el cielo: “¡Felices los que en ti encuentran ayuda, los que desean peregrinar hasta tu monte!”. Pues…
[RCL]: Isaiah 65:17-25; Canticle 9; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13; Luke 21:5-19 It seems almost self-evident that children’s literature contains some of the most unvarnished truths among any genre. Certainly, we all have our favorites, but two, in particular, have something to do with our life in the church hinted at in our collect and the readings…
[RCL]: Haggai 1:15b-2:9; Psalm 145:1-5, 18-22 or Psalm 98; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5, 13-17; Luke 20:27-38 People chase immortality in many ways. Some spend billions on research in search of the technology or genetics or pharmaceuticals or a whole host of things they hope will allow humans, someday, to defy death or radically extend our span…
Demos gracias a Dios Padre que nos brinda la posibilidad de aproximarnos al término de este año litúrgico. Hemos sido robustecidos en la fe al recorrer y vivir como Iglesia las diferentes estaciones, centrándonos en la experiencia del Resucitado y su Santa Cena. Un maestro de liturgia muy sabio decía: “el ciclo completo de un…
Hace unos dos meses presentaban en las noticias una hermosa historia de lucha, perseverancia y grandes logros. Se contaba cómo una pareja de jóvenes mexicanos, que llegaron a los Estados Unidos cuando eran apenas unos niños indocumentados, habían logrado salir adelante. Amparados por la Acción Diferida para los Llegados en la Infancia (DACA, por sus…
How do you define a saint? Would you know a real-life saint if you met one? Try this definition: “A saint is a dead sinner, revised and edited.” This comes from the early 20th-century satirist Ambrose Bierce in his 1906 work, The Cynic’s Word Book, where he defined saints as revised and edited sinners presumably…
[RCL]: Joel 2:23-32; Psalm 65; 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18; Luke 18:9-14 At a recent church gathering, participants were told to come ready to answer the following question: Which ancient heresy do you think is most prevalent in the church today and why? These questions can be awful, maybe reminding us of those party games where…
